Devotion, Doctrine & Discipleship
Daily Glimpses into the Attributes, Redemptive Work, Beatitudes, and Armor of God
Embarking on a devotional journey with doctrinal intent is akin to planting seeds in fertile Soil - they germinate, take root, and eventually yield a harvest rich in faith and understanding. This devotional focuses on the attributes of God, His redemptive work, the Beatitudes, and the Armor of God, themes deeply interwoven in the tapestry of Christian doctrine. Doctrine is not a cold, remote body of knowledge but the heartbeat of our spiritual journey. It informs our devotion, grounds our faith, and shapes how we experience our relationship with God. Without a firm foundation in doctrine, our devotion risks becoming a mere emotional exercise, untethered from the truth that transforms us.

Life's Greatest Story
What is truth? A lot of people have asked that question through the ages. Unfortunately, our own opinions or desires often obscure the truth. For many, truth can become whatever we want to believe.
In much the same way as a person strips away the layers of old paint or varnish to get the original beauty of a priceless antique, this book seeks to remove all the layers of lies and opinions that clog our culture, to get to the unvarnished truth of what really matters. Through this process, we'll see that the truth in Christ becomes our greatest story.
It is time to rediscover the unvarnished truth about God and accept Jesus' challenge to share the truth with others.
Living Your Life With Influential Purpose
I believe the first step for any Christian is to know who they are in Christ. If this first step is missed or perhaps later forgotten, it can lead to a life of continual frustration, disappointment, and even depression.
Every human being on the face of the earth has an established identity - and that means you. I am not talking about your name, social security number, or even your fingerprint; I'm talking about the way you see yourself and the words you speak to yourself. Because of the sin of mankind, we as humans tend to compare ourselves to others and speak self-defeating words in our mind. But I have great news for you: your internal negative dialogue can change! And this is what this book is all about
